Going through the tutorials now. The forum seems pretty straight forward. I'll start a build log this weekend. BTW I'm going to "Fire up a Montanes" Not set it on fire.
Have you done model ship building or is this your 1st model? This looks like a nice kit. I like the scale, I prefer 1/64 - 1/72 scale myself. That's going to be a good size model at just over 4 feet long when complete.
